Small Moment Stories

First grade is all about the personal narrative. We teach "small moment" stories, where you stretch out in sometimes agonizing detail a particular part of your day.

One student started his day at the beginning, when he took a bath. And then he ran with it. By page two, he was getting out of the tub, putting on loshen, and greasing up in baby oil. "It's greasy." 

Love the detail. Maybe TMI.

    "It puts the loshen on its skin." Sorry, creepy.

    Baby oil and lotion combo. Seems a bit decadent during recession 2009.

    the first page concerning the bath itself may have been riveting too---perchance, did it involve wound-up motorboats speeding through the water?
